PHILIPS INGENUITY TF SYSTEMHow it works: Places MR and PET scanners almost 10 feet apart, with the patient table in the middle. The table rotates so the patient will be scanned in the exact same position in each machine sequentially. Data are merged via specialized software.

Features: The PET and MR machines can also work independently.

Claims: industry’s first commercially available whole body PET/MR imaging system. Also claims to produce up to 70 percent less ionizing radiation than the PET/CT.

Space needed: one room

Available in the U.S.? No, but it received its European CE Mark in January, 2011

GE PET/CT + MRIHow it works: combines the data, not the equipment. MR and PET exams are performed sequentially, with a shared patient transport gurney system. Patient remains in same position on the table, moving between rooms/devices. After sequential exams, the GE system merges the data set.
